How the dates are chosen
- Only while the Sun is in Makara to Mithuna (Uttarayana), outside Chaturmas, and not while Venus or Jupiter is combust. Not on Tuesday or Saturday.
- Nakshatra: the fixed, movable, gentle and short nakshatras. Tithi: Shukla Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi; Krishna Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami.
- Daytime only, in its first two thirds; Sun, Mars and Saturn not in the 1st, 5th or 8th house, Jupiter not in the 6th or 8th, Venus and the Moon not in the 6th, 8th or 12th.
A muhurat window is the stretch of the day when all of these hold, from sunrise to the next sunrise. The rules follow the classical muhurta texts as Drik Panchang applies them; ask a Pandit to fix the lagna for your ceremony.

Frequently asked questions
When is the next upanayana muhurat in Paris?
Monday, 22 February 2027: 12:19 PM to 02:40 PM, local time in Paris.
How many upanayana muhurat days are there in 2026–27?
17 days in the twelve months from Saturday, 24 October 2026, for Paris, France.
Why are some months without a upanayana muhurat?
October 2026, November 2026, December 2026, January 2027, August 2027, September 2027, October 2027 have none, mostly because of Shukra Tara Asta. Each day's reason is listed under its month.
Are these timings the same everywhere?
No. Tithi, nakshatra and sunrise are calculated for Paris, so dates and times shift between cities, and abroad a muhurat can fall on a different day than in India.
Should I also check my own chart?
Yes for an important event. Tarabalam (from your birth nakshatra) and Chandrabalam (from your Moon sign) show which of these windows also suit you; for a wedding, families also match the couple's Kundlis and fix the lagna with a Pandit.
